The problem is mostly with pup-volume-monitor, though thunar has its share too (try to see what is in your /proc folder)_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Here is one good news!
I've managed to patch viewnior to allow setting wallpaper in ArchPup. Wallpaper is set with
my old script wallpaper.sh: actually using small application imlibsetroot in background.
No need to mention - this will replace gpicview for next version.
Package is bellow, remove false gz and install with pacman -U pkgname. What do you think?

What does pup-volume-monitor do, detect usb when you plugg it?

I dont know what you mean check /proc. Upon check I saw nothing special?

I tried viewnior. Set a background, it worked. Wanted to set it back. I opened 3601.jpg
in /usr/share/backgrounds folder, tried to set it as backround, failed. furthermore when I checked that folder both 3601.jpg and default.jpg was gone?

Yes. If you install thunar volman instead is much bigger with all the dependencies.

Do you see anything? Mine shows an empty directory. Apparently a known bug of thunar 1.6

I can confirm that.
Simargl, did you test it in 12.12.2 or in the upcoming 132?_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Hi Scooby, script wallpaper.sh allows only 2 files in /usr/share/backgrounds: one is default.jpg that is used as wallpaper and second
$RANDOM.jpg, that is wallpaper used before you set new one.I thought it would be bad to for example, if someone change 20
wallpapers, store them all in /usr/share/backgrounds and use some 10 MB in save file. So as images folder use anything except /usr/share/backgrounds.

Maybe this script needs some polishing . Any ideas what should I do? Move default.jpg to /etc/wallpaper or some other folder
where no one will search it
Scooby original image cannot really be deleted, remove folder /initrd/pup_rw/usr/share/backgrounds, logout and it will be back

Basically links to whatever file you want (so no size increase) and of course does not wipe out your backgrounds folder,
With this viewnior works fine as background setter_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

Great marvothal, simple and perfect. No need to copy anything just symlink image, thanks once again.

Scooby, for me thunar showed USB drive only if it's plugged in on boot, but when I remove it, it would still
be shown in devices panel. Also newly inserted USB would never show.

I reported problem to pup-volume-monitor developer, but he never responded, so we must switch to other file manager
with proper USB drives handling.
Spacefm is very good for me, and it has some functions that are missing in Thunar like "Compress folder to archive"

Applied this new patch, also I remembered something more. What if someone mount a partition, then
set wallpaper located on that partition. On reboot default.jpg symbolic link would be broken. Should we think of that case?

@Scooby: You can install thunar using pacman, no problem. Actually I was patching thunar to
1.hide root warnings and 2.allow directly removing files without sending them to trash.
Found that patch in thunar-notrash in AUR.
